AUDAX RENOVABLES, FOURTH BOND ISSUE FOR 35 MILLION EURO

Audax Renovables, a Spanish company dedicated to the marketing of electricity and gas and the generation of 100% renewable electricity, has expanded the bond issue launched on the market in October 2018. With this operation, carried out according to the “tap issue” mechanism, the group achieves financial stability for the next three years (expiration is scheduled for 2023).

The issue amount reached 35 million euros, maintaining coupon and maturity, with a rate of 4.35% yield.    

The operation has attracted the interest of investors, thanks to the good performance of the company and the record results achieved in the first half of 2018 [ +info ] , as evidenced by the speed with which the bonds were placed. The operation, which began on the morning of October 10th at the opening of the markets, was concluded the same day at the end of trading.

In this way, the total amount of the issue is 70 million euros.

To carry out this operation, Audax Renovables was supported by Beka Finance, which was responsible for leading the operation as MLA (Mandated Lead Arranger), and Haitong, as co-lead. 

This is about the fourth bond issue of Audax on the Alternative Fixed Income Market (MARF) after that of 2014 – now repaid – and those of 2017 and 2018. This is also the first after the merger between Audax Energía and Audax Renovables, at the beginning of 2019. [ +info ]

The aim of the operation was to "shield" the company's balance sheet against any event that could affect the markets, according to a guiding criterion based on prudence.

Audax Renovables is convinced that the operation will contribute to consolidate the company and its leadership as the main independent energy supplier in the SME sector of the Spanish market. And it will contribute to replicate the successes obtained in Spain also in the other countries where it is present today: Portugal, Italy, Germany, Holland, France, Poland and Panama.
